Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions are often written for legal regulations but they are never read by consumers, as a result consumers are often exploited by agreeing on these unreadable terms. You know the “I agree” phenomenon. In this piece, terms & conditions of five social web services are re-written using a custom typeface. The resulting images are generated by three processes: me typing the words, the program deciding on the size of each letter each time I hit the key, and the instructions for the fonts. With this piece we both recycle unread terms & conditions text and point to the moment where people give away their rights to the capital.
